In one month Obama will silence us all for good:

Obama and the FCC will shut down Drudge and freerepublic, and the Internet. I can’t believe even on this site people don’t seem to know or care what Obama is going to do to the Internet:

“FCC Commissioner: Feds May Come for Drudge [Isaiah 29]”

“(Soros strikes again!)FCC Cites Soros-Funded Marxist Group 46 Times in Regs (internet takeover) “

To the left, freedom of speech means freedom from ever having to hear speech they don’t like.

Similarly, freedom of religion means freedom from religion.

When the silencing tactics don’t work, the next step is total destruction of anyone who stands in their way

Yes , the left(democrats) are the domestic enemy of Americans and conservatives. They mean to exterminate us and all vestiges of freedom and capitalism. Conservatives are so worried about the foreign enemy Islam but they don't realize the left is even more dangerous as they are hiding their true selves even better than Islam. and the left number in the 10’s of millions already in the USA and have taken over the media , academia , etc.

Many of us know and care, we just feel powerless to do much about it. It is no different than Obama opening the borders, declaring war on energy production, allowing Iran to have nukes, and every other imperial act by King Obamanation.

At this point, our only hope is electing a strong conservative president in 2016 that is willing and able to undo most of what Obama has done.

Justices Scalia and Kennedy both turn 80 next year. The next president is likely to replace one or both. If the next president is Hillary, then a majority of far left wing liberals will control the Supreme Court and will be legislating from the bench for the next 30 years.

The Constitution says whatever 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices say it says. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

The left is only interested in free speech when they can use it to shout down opposition.

After they destroy the opposition, they will then begin a terror campaign not unlike Stalin’s purges to imprison and ‘disappear’ any remaining vestiges of free thought.

...”The Constitution says whatever 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices say it says. Be afraid. Be very afraid.”.....

Not really.....it’s simply a matter that the Demorats won these past 8 years...and the republicans pretty much joined with their agenda.......next election the most we can hope for is it’s the other side wins..which is not much different.

One man as president isn’t going to change that equation...it will simply “tilt” the game board somewhat....but in the end carry the same water it always does. Each side blaming the other for what is or not done for the USA.

You do know that you will be held to that prediction, right?

I've heard it said of Clinton and Bush, but it has never happened.

We will see in one month what happens.

On June 12, 2015 Obama’s FCC will BEGIN regulating the Internet with socialist regulations manufactured by Soros.

“(Soros strikes again!)FCC Cites Soros-Funded Marxist Group 46 Times in Regs (internet takeover) “

It may not happen in one month but is someone doesn't stop Obama will begin censorship on that date . It might take them a while to shut down Drudge and freerepublic. I ‘d give it a few months after that date so say 3 months to see some sites shut down. but the regulations take effect on June 12.

Yes I’m afraid of Obama and of the Left. And once the democrats take over the Internet there won’t be ANY opposition at all to the left

You have made your prediction in your own words. Expect to be held to it.

Facts matter.

The fact of the matter is that liberals make their attacks intensely personal, and set out to financially and professionally destroy Conservatives or anybody else who dares to disagree with them.

It's not an opinion . I was stating a FACT. Communist Obama and his FCC gestapo will start implementing their SOROS regulations on June 12, 2015. That's what I meant . When those regulations take effect the Internet (Freedom) is ruined . It's over after that . We are done

below is an excerpt not MY opinion but facts:

“Internet and thought control begins in 31 days!”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3284804/posts

“UPDATE: The implementation of Barack Obama’s takeover of the Internet is less than 45 days away. And as Marsha Blackburn says, if Congress does not take action to stop Barack Obama, the government will “control the Internet” in a little over the month.

Make no mistake, the Internet as you know it will never be the same if we let Barack Obama implement this takeover. You'll pay more for less service and the government will use this draconian ruling as a club to bludgeon Internet freedom, including ultimately your free speech.

And if you think we exaggerate, consider what Rep. Marsha Blackburn says on the matter: “Once the federal government establishes a foothold into managing how Internet service providers run their networks they will essentially be deciding which content goes first, second, third, OR NOT AT ALL.”

Liberals aren’t, and never have been, “Liberal”

They’re “Progressives”, borrowing from the Marxist/Leninist concept that there’s an inevitable “progression” of/to history.

In the early 20th Century, “Progressivism” became synonymous with Socialism and even Communism. So they dropped the moniker in favor of “Liberal,” which was appropriated from “Classical Liberalism.” in order to make themselves more palatable to the political mainstream.

Once Liberalism became something of a dirty word in the late 20th Century they started readopting “Progressivism” to identify themselves.

In the meantime, as with everything else they appropriated, “Classical Liberalism” got destroyed. Which sucks. I’d really like to have the term back.

Dear Kirsten keeps saying the ‘illiberal’ left. The left never was liberal. They’ve abused that word from the beginning. As John Stossel has said, “I want that word back.”

I analogize liberal ideology to a can of dog poop.
They put new labels on it to disguise that it’s dog poop,

but whatever label they put on it,
people eventually come to understand it means “dog poop”.

The liberals forget, that they are overlooking a network of voices, that will not be silenced, because they have nothing to lose ... senior citizens. Why do they have nothing to lose? because the adoration crowd of 0 to 20 y.o.’s, are, and have been programmed, and do not know the reality of the country they exist within.
